I got my Independence Day look on one day early, for last night’s outing to the rooftop lounge at Ink48. I highly recommend the view there. I wore my Castelbajac sailor outfit, which I like to get out on or around July 4. I mean, when else can you wear something like this? What Wendy…

What Wendy Wore: Head-to-Toe Zang Toi
I was in Chicago over the weekend to visit family and attend the Ravinia Festival in Highland Park, Ill. The festival’s website says Ravinia (named for the Ravinia Park grounds where it is held) is the oldest outdoor music festival in North America. Who knew?! Ravinia isn’t a stand-all-day-to-see-Eminem, Lollapalooza-like event. It’s very civilized. You…
Throwback Thursday: Those Capezio Jazz Shoes
I am STILL looking for that photo of me and Roger Daltrey in England in 1983. I keep finding more photos from that trip, but no Roger yet. WTF. I must have put the picture in a “safe place.” I wish I’d stop putting things there, because the “safe place” and the “Bermuda Triangle” are…
What Wendy Wore: Versace to the Loeb Awards
MrB and I went last night’s Gerald Loeb Awards, which, as the Loebs website explains, “honor excellence in business and financial journalism that both informs and protects the private investor and the general public.” I wrote about the Loeb Awards in 2010 when my gorgeous friend Alix Freedman — formerly of the Wall Street Journal,…
What Wendy Wore: Shorts by Zang Toi
I got a pair of striped shorts from my designing friend Zang Toi’s Spring 2015 collection and I’ve been wearing them all the time. What Wendy Wore Top: Splendid Shorts: Zang Toi (2015) Shoes: Prada (2011) Here’s how the shorts were styled for the runway. Embed from Getty Images I didn’t get the jacket but…
What Wendy Wore: That Zandra Rhodes Dress
I went to a party last night and, as you might have guessed from yesterday’s post, I wore my vintage Zandra Rhodes dress/caftan. Hair-styling goddess Julie Matos of the Warren-Tricomi salon put a lot of thought into the right ‘do for my outfit. Zandra is famous for her bright pink hair … View image |…
Throwback Thursday: Zandra Rhodes Dress in 2006
I can’t remember when I bought my hand-painted, vintage Zandra Rhodes dress, but the last photo I have of me wearing it is from 2006. I believe I wore it a couple of times that year. While searching for some images of Zandra Rhodes, I came across this 2003 picture of Mary-Kate Olsen wearing a…
Fashion Repeats Itself: Gaga Has Noli Braids!
E! Online has compared Lady Gaga’s latest hairstyle to Pippi Longstocking‘s braids. CLICK TO SEE E!’s TWEET. But when I saw this ‘do, I didn’t think Pippi at all. What I thought was, “Been there, seen that, got the t-shirt.” The braided lady on that t-shirt is gorgeous Wall Street Journal artist Noli Novak. When…
Shoes in Magazines, on TV and on Restaurant Tables
Gladiator sandals really are the shoe of the moment. After writing about them in yesterday’s post, I spotted them in today’s New York Observer. This look is going to be wildly overdone this season, but I’m going to take advantage of its pervasiveness and stock up on styles so I have them to wear when…
What Wendy Wore: Hanging With My Vegas Gems
I’m still recovering from JCK Las Vegas, the gigantic jewelry trade show that took place over the weekend. It’s not Vegas-style partying that exhausts me. It’s seeing hundreds of thousands of jewelry styles in one place that’s exhausting! The highlight of any JCK experience is meeting up with my group of amazing social-media wimmin friends,…
